The Problem

 Cataract remains a leading cause of vision loss in  developing countries. Cataract blindness is treatable, fixed by a 15-20 minute surgical procedure. 

In developing countries, there are not enough surgeries being performed so there is a  back-log that keeps increasing.

THE ANSWER:  MORE Surgeries!

How do we do this?

Assist current surgeons to increase the quality and quantity of surgery being performed.  

-Train more surgeons

 -Provide access to equipment

- Training for nurses and assistants

for outreach screenings.


Global Cataract blindness is fixable 

It will take all of us, working together empowering each other to reduce numbers

No one organization can do it all 

But we are all pieces of the puzzle

Have we have found the secret to happiness?

We think so. 

Being part of something bigger than oneself...

Part of a team that is doing good.

One person at a time,

Touching another's life and making it better.

To belong to something greater than yourself

What is a cataract?

A cataract is an opacification of the eye’s crystalline lens, (which is normally transparent).  

The most common symptoms of a cataract are:

  • Cloudy or blurry vision.
  • Glare. 
  • Poor night vision.
  • Double vision .
  • Eventually, if left untreated   the vision is so poor it is reduced  to counting fingers or light perception.





How is it Treated?

By cataract surgery 

Under sterile conditions

Using a microscope to see the eye close up the surgeon makes an incision  on the white part (sclera) of the eye. The patient white or brown lens is removed and a clear plastic lens is placed in the same spot . The eye is closed. 

Sight is returned.

Empowering Doctors to do what they do best

Can you imagine studying for 6-8-10 years

  • Paying your tuition 
  • Graduating with the honorable medical degree
  • AND THEN..
  • Having the skills, knowledge to treat your patients
  • BUT NOT HAVING the tools, equipment and medicines necessary to do your work
  • You can diagnosis but can not treat  


Our job is to find these doctors and help them get on their way

For an ophthalmologist office it can take $50,000-100,000 USD investment in 

basic equipment : a slit lamp, indirect ophthalmoscope 20 diopter lens, 90 diopter lens, keratometer,  a B- scan and an A-scan.

For the OR a Microscope, sterilizer, instrument trays, a vitrectomy, consumables, and a consignment of IOLS.

IF a BANK won't loan you the money to purchase? 

How do you take care of your patients?
